Great BOB's

Bad Old Blokes of All Time

Bob in attitude

There’s lots of Bad Old Blokes around, some of them are at times a bit on the edge, but we like to think that they were just doing their thing they way they saw best. Some of them we admire for their strength of character, what they achieved, others for a role they played, but all of them have that something that can’t be ignored.

Steve McQueen

Who doesn't remember the Great Escape and the motorbike chase or Bullitt and the mustang. The ‘King of the cool’ loved his cars and bikes, what’s not to admire.

Bon Scott

AC DC front man until his death in 1980 was a true hard living rocker. Who can forget classics such as High Voltage, TNT or Dirty Deeds. He was a local boy that made a mark.

James Hunt

If ever there was a ‘lad’ in formula One it would be J Hunt, aka ‘hunt the shunt’. A world champion driver with Hesketh, McLaren and Wolf he personified a blokes driver who had a good time.

Bob Dylan

Robert Zimmerman a singer song writer and one of the most influential figures in music. Blowin in the wind, Hard Rains a-gonna fall, The Times they are a-changin, music that changed generations.

Clint Eastwood

An actor who gave cred to spaghetti westerns and made Dirt Harry ‘do you feel lucky’ an icon of screen. There’s Every Which Way But Loose, Josey Wales, Unforgiven, Play Misty for Me, it goes on.

Charles Bronson

Another icon of the screen, he brought cool in his own way. Starred in films such as Once Upon a Time in the West, The Magnificent Seven, The Dirty Dozen, The Great Escape, one tough dude!

Bruce Lee

Mr Kung Fu to a legion of fans, his dynamic capabilities cut short at age 32. Super fit and amazing to watch, he brought kung fu to the masses with Enter the Dragon and Fist of Fury.

Don Bradman

The ‘Don’ acknowledged as Australia’s greatest batsman of all time and part of cricket folklore. His time at the crease during Bodyline and with ‘The Invincibles"’ made him a legend.

Dalai Lama

A man who brings such compassion, humour and understanding, the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people is one bloke we would love to have around for a bbq and just relax in the moment.

John Lennon

Co founder of the Beatles, is responsible for a life time of music (you know them all). He had his own attitude to life (interview in bed?) and his partners Ono and Pang added to a fascinating life story.

George Clooney

So he’s a good looking bloke, but we reckon he would be a good bloke to have a beer with. He doesn’t take himself too seriously and delivers it all with style. Who wouldn't want to be George?

Albert Einstein

Ok when you think smart he has to be right up there, with that wild hair and more theories than you could count wouldn’t you like to have him on your side when didn’t understand maths at school.

Arnold Palmer

Nicknamed The King, he was one of golf's greatest and most charismatic players in the sport's history. Winner of 62 PGA Tour titles, we would have loved to have had a game of golf with him.

The Rock

Dwayne Johnson, who goes from being one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time to starring in so many movies and doing so you think, yep he’s a good bloke I’d like to know.

Michael Jordan

The greatest basketball player of all time, six NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP), ten All-NBA, five MVP Awards, wonder if he would shoot some hoops with us sometime.

Ted Whitten

"Mr. Football" a true working class football hero, a showman and a larrikin. Played 321 games with the sort of old fashioned passion we all loved in a footy player.

Muhammad Ali

More than just a boxer Thrilla in Manila" against his rival Joe Frazier; and "The Rumble in the Jungle" against George Foreman, Ali was a sporting and social icon. He was the greatest.

Barak Obama

Now we probably wouldn't think of politicians as good blokes but here we will make an exception. Honestly friendly, loves his family and shows it, and if he was in Australia he’d still be in power.

Nelson Mandela

A man who showed such compassion and forgiveness, he was a shining light in how to treat your fellow man. If we all learned just one small aspect from him we would all be better blokes.

Hugh Jackman

Ok who doesn’t love our Hugh. A man who can sing and dance and then throw in a Wolverine performance. A philanthropist, a World Vision ambassador, and more, the blokes a legend.

Elvis Presley

The King of Cool, we cant forget his 68 Comeback special. There isn't a musician who didn't hold him in high regard. So he ate too much peanut butter and broke a few tvs, but no ones perfect.
